ban at lust bMD brought directly
into the Investigation of the
police department by the Lexow
committee, He has now hcen dragged
in. Lawyer Moss to-day just toolc the
bead of the uniformed force by the
collar, and, figuratively ipeaking.
plumped him riulit down in front of
the committee ami the public. Mr.
Mo began these interesting proceed
ings by reading the ofSoial reports of
captains and itinpectora to the inperin
tendent in relation to certain precincts,
in which they stated in many instances
that no gambling places or disorderly
bowel exist in iuoho precincts at the
time covered by the reports, while th.
evidence taken before the commit
tee showed that at that very time those
precincts were honeycombed with dis
orderly houses. Mr. Moss pointed out
that for years the police captains had
reported the existence and location of
huu.ireii of houses of a disorderly
character. Suddenly, said Mr. Most,
after the grand jnry had made n pre
sentment calling attention to the ex
istence of section 280 of th code giv
ing to the superintendent of the police
pownr to issn his own warrant for the
raiiling of such bonses, these reports
ceased and the captains reported that
no snch honses existed In these nn
cincts. BYRNES not surprised.
The abrupt disappearance of these
disorderly honses did not appear to
hnve excited any comment on the part
of the superintendent, Mr. Moss said,
although it would be fair to suppose,
as the chairman pointed out, tliat the
superintendent would either nave com
plimented the captains for ridding
their precincts so completely of disor
derly bouses or made some iaqniry
as to the correctness of the reports.
Mr. Mnss also pointed out the some
what singular fact that in the earlier
reports, in wtiicii lists of known disor
derly houses and their location in the
Eleventh and Fonrteen precincts were
given, these lists were evidently writ
ten in the same clerkly hand, the rs
ports having been apparently made
cut at police headquarters, where suoh
lists have been kept for years. The re
ports, although evidently made out by
the same person, wero signed by the
captains of the respective precints.
Mr. Moss also put in evidence the
letters addressed last year by the Soci
ety for the Prevention of Crime to the
police commissioners, Superintendent
Byrnes, and Mayor Gilroy, calling at
tention to the existence of certain spec
ified disorderly bonses, some of which
letters were treated with contempt by
Police Commissioner Martin and his
colleagues. Mr Moss also read official
reports on the charges contained in
some of the letters, some amusement
being caused by the statement therein
that Wnrdninn Glennan had investi
gated some of the cliarsrps anu fonnd
them unfonnded. Glennan, it will be
remembered, was one of the wardmen
charged by eevoral witnesses beforo
tho committee with havim? collected,
blackmail for police protection.
TASTOR HAMILTON TKSTIFIES.
Rev. William Hamilton, pastor
of the Allen Memorial Methodist
chnrch, in the Eleventh precinct, was
the first witness to-day. He testified
to having asked Captain Devery if he
conld not do something to remove some
of the honses of ill-fame in tho street
in which his church is situated. The
captnin said that if ho closed the houses
the inmates would simply go into tene
ments and more harm would result
As to the violations of the excise law
on Sundays in the precinct, Uov. Mr
Hamilton said that on one occasion ho
counted seventeen or ninoteen snloons
open and doing business between hU
bouse and the church. He pointed out
one of the saloons to the polic
man on the beat, and asked him why
he did not close it, and tho olhear re
plied that he dared not do so.
After further strong testimony show
ing how bunco steerers were protected
by making Hpecific payments to the po
lice. Mr. Goff opened up another ave
nue of information. He called a well
preserved looking man to the stand,
who gave his name as Prank Clarko.
During the war, Clarko testified, ho
was engaged as a gambler, being dealer
in a faro game nt the place known as
"Old General's," at Frince and Mercer
streets. The gambling place, the de
tective said, was frcqnently visited by
police detectives irom headquarters
Thuy.did business with police headqinr

HKADOUARTKRK DIVIDED DP.
Among tbo headquarters men who
regularly visited the Old General's nt
that time wero Dnsenborry, Bradford,
Kelso (afterwards superintendent) and
Tillv. Some headquarter men called
regularly each week for the money for
the protection of the gambling house.
and tut) was always paid for that pnr
pose. The money wax put in an en
velope, which was nut in a certain
place,: and the officer always got
it. The Generals whb n fa
roons resort for thieves, pick
pockets and burglars, who were
in the habit of leaving their envelopes
there containing money for the head
quarters' men. The witness said ho
had frequently seen these jriminals
put money in envelopes and leave the
envelopes tbere for tbo police. Among
tho criminals he had seen do this wore
'Dan" Noble, "Tommy" Mulligan,
"Molly" Mathews, and several others
whose names he rattled olf Ilka an old
detective familiar with the names of
celebrated criminals for half a cen
tury. Later Clarke wont west, and returned
to engage in the bunco steering busi
ness. Ho gave a description of this
business, which was as interesting in
its way as Appo's description of the
green-goods business. He told how
the business was conducted, how tho
victims were secured and fleeced and
got rid of. If any of them 1 'squealed"
and complained to the police, the
"bunco" men had to give up half of
the money obtained from the
"squealer" to the police. This was
done by the connivance of the ward
men. They used to call on the bunco
man aftor tho victims complained in
time for thethinv;s to alter the appear
ance of the place and get out, leaving
othar men in their places; then when
tho victims wore taken to tho place,
they of course could not recognize
either the place or the men there. Af
ter that tho bunco men hail to give np
half of their stealing from the victim.
Later, said the witness, the police got
more greedy , and if R victim, for in
stance, said ho had lost f 1,000 and bad
really lost only $500, the police would
insist on having 500; and in some cases
they would take all.
JUSTIOl DIWKR'S FRIENDS.
Parnilv, Clarke's partner, paid $."00
down for the privilege of doing busi
ness in the ward; tho witness said he
paid hissharoof that 5Q0. That money
was put in an evelope and left in Div
ver's saloon on Chatham street. The
Divver who kept the saloon was the
Differ Who is now a police justice.
Divver, the witness said, gave
Parmly his start iu tbo bunco
and moute business. The bank roll
with which the bunco and mnnte busi
ness was conducted by tho witness anil
Parmly was always placed in Judge
Divver's safe every night. Divver's
saloon was the headquarters of tho
bunco and monte firm, and when they
were not engaged at it, the witness
said thev were in Divver's saloon; as
much as 300 had boon spent by the
firm and their associates, ha said, in a
singlo night in the saloon.
it sometimes happened, said Charlc,
that a victim of the "bunco" would
make his complaint at police head
quarters, and generally in those cases
Detective Heidelberg would take tho
victim to the buncii-man's den. Iu that
case half of the money made out of
tiie victim went to police headquarters.
There was some rivalry botween the
precinct police and the headquarters
men. The former did not like the
victims to go to headquarters, because
when they did tho precinct men got
nothing. Cinrke said that besides sur
rendering to tho police half the money
taken from "squealers, the sum of
ill)') a week was regularly paid to the
police at the station house.

Debate.
Washington, June 19.
OENERAL debate on the Hatch
anti-optiou bill occupied the
house's attention today. In his
speech advocating: the bill. Mr.
Sioioy convulsed tho committee by re
lating the visit of the Lord to the
coast of Gad irene whore the legion of
devi!s, which he drove out of the un
fortunate voong men whom they had
afflicted, entered into a herd of swino,
which ran down the steeps into the
sea. Whereupon, tho board of trade
of Oadareno came out and petitioned
him to leave thoir coasts. "And He
did," said Mr. Sibley, "never more to
return. And that a what the Chicago
hoard of trudo would aslt if He wero
to visit them, fearing a falling pork
market with no line of shorts out."
Mr Sibley oallod attention to the
faot that tho same element which de
manded and supported the ropeal of the
Sherman law Opposed tho passage of
this bill.
"H.jfw about Coxeyf some one asked.
"Kather than choose between the
financial vagaries which varions Ohio
people have indulged in," answered
Air. Sibley, I would take to the woods.

laughter.)
Mr. Sibley pictured the country un
der tho demonetization of silver as a
dismal swamp, and the brush was
wielded with artistic enact. He was
interrupted by bis colloago Jack Rob
inson, to ask if the dismal swamp he
had been describing, was tho one in
which President Clevoland had recently
oeen nning.
Mr. Hatch's rocont suggestion that
the Populist candidates for president
aud vicu-prosident in 1806 would be
Teller and Sitdey, was recalled by the
closo of Mr. Sibley's speech. He said
that if his party abandoned the prin
ciples for which he stood and thoy
wero inscribed on tho banner of any
other party, whatever its name, he
should follow that banner. And if no
party championed them, ''why then'"
said Mr. Sibley, "I shall return to the
farm nnd be a party to myself."
WOItK IN THE SENATE.
The fnct that there is no further de
sire on the part of Mr. (tiay to delay
progress on tne tarm Dill, was Indi
cated by his makiiiL' a motion this
morning to dispense with tho reading
or yesterdays lournal. todays pro
ceedings wero made memornblo by the
fact that tho finance committee sus
tained its first defeat in tho manage
ment of the tariff bill. It came at the
close of tho day's session when thoro
wero more absentees on tbo Democratic
side of the chamber than wore consist
ent with nssurnd victory on that side
Tho subject of it was quicksilver
This had boen plnced on the free list
by the house and the senate financo
committee reported it without amend
ment. An attack upon it was made by
Senator Perkins, (California;) who ar
gued that the ncoaption would mean
the ruin of the quicksilver mines of
California and the delivery of the con
trol of the quicksilver markets of tho
world to tho Rothschilds who have con
tracts for the entire supply of the
quicksilver mines or Spam nnd Ans
tria. Mr. Perkins argument was
backed by Mr. Lodge, Massachusetts,
Mr. j'latt, Connecticut, and Mr
Stewart, Nevada, and the Dem
ocratic senator from California,
Mr. White, although pairod and
not voting, gave it some support
in tho shape of u letter from a repre
sentative of tho quicksilver industry in
California, setting out faots.
QUICKSILVER IS I'HOTKCTED.
The opposition from the finance' com
mittee was only passive, not active - On
the voto to striko the paragraph from
the free list, Senators Hill and Morgan,
nnd the four Pjpnlists voted with the
Republicans r.nd the motion was car
ried 23 to 20. (Quicksilver was then
placed o the dutiable list, without op
position or division, at tho rate of 7
cents a pound.
The coal paragraph was amended by
striking oufbituminonsand shale" and
making the paragraph read "anthra
cite coal and coal stores of Amorican
vessels, but none shall be unloaded."
Tho paragraph placing iron oro on the
free list was struck out yeas -13, nays
4, leaving iron oro on the dutiable list.
The negativo votes were given by the
three Populists, Allen, Kylo and Peffer
and by Mr. Hill (New York). Paint
ings and statuary remain on the free
list. Thirty-three pugos of the bill
were disposod of, und whon tho salt
paragraph was reached the seriate at
0,25 adjourned.
SUGAR SENATORS YIELD.

Washington, June 10 It has been
practically decided by tboso in control
of the tariff bill in tho senate, that
there Is to be a a further revision
of the sugar schedule, as it will finally
be adopted will place a duty of 40 per
cent, ad valorem on nil sugars and one
eighth of a cent additional on refinud

Another change will also be made in
tho wool schedule. As agroed to, the
rate of tho finished product in men's
clothing is fixed at 45 cents, while tho
duty on rloth entering into tho manu
facture of the same grade of goods is
fixed at. HO per cont. This is a discrim
ination against the manufacture iu this
country that will be remedied by in

to 60 per cent.
NEW WORK FOR GRAND JURY.
Washington Broker Refuses to Dlsolose
Sugar Scandal Evidence.
Washington, June 19. A new
feature was iujectod into the sugar in
vestigation through George W. Siisby,
of the firm of Siisby & Co., bankers
and brokers. It was iu Mr. Silby's
oflice that Ooorge Ransom, con of
Senator Ransom und Captain
Barnes, Senator Ransom's raessen
ger, made the smell specnlutlons
that caused the rumor teat
tho North Carolina senator was dab
bling in the sugar stock. The news
paper correspondent who thought he
had hold of a big sensation, told Sena
tor Ransom that he had photographic
copies of a stock sheet in his possession
containing the mime of "Ransom" and
yesterday testified before the commit
tee that the sheet bore the name of
Siisby & Co.
Tho first witness beforo the com
mittee this morning was Mr. Siisby
and he fully confirmed the tostimony of
Senator Ransom that the senator had
not spooulnted in sugnr stock through
tho firm, and also stated that Oeorge
Ransom had made small speculations.
Mr. Siisby was nsked if any sena
tors had speculated in sugar stock
through his office, but he said he
was unwilling to answer on that point
until he conld consult his attorney,
Major Hen Butterworth. Mr, Siisby
told the committee that there was an
other matter involved in the case which
also deterred him from answering at
this time. He said he meant a crim
inal prosecution, and this new feature
interested the committee exceedingly.
Mr Siisby explained that the stock
sheet, of which tho Now York Press
hud photos, had been stolen from one
of his branch offices, together with
orders for stock signed by some of his
customers. This was a criminal of
fence, he said, involving as it did tho
theft of private papers and he had se
cured tho services of a private dotec
tive agency to assist in following up a
clue which he had discovered.
J. W. McCartuey, of the linn of Cor
son & McCartney, the Washington
correspondents of Moore & Sohley,
stock brokers, followed Mr. Siisby aud
also refused to give any information
in answer to inquiries whether any
senators had bought sugnr stock, Mr.
McCartney's refusal to answer qnes
tians will be reported to Vice-Prssi-dent
Stevenson for certification to the
grand jury, as was done in the cases of
Messrs. Haveiunyer, Searios, Chapman,
Shriver and ElwarJs.
